Just returned from a trip to Carmel this weekend. The whole drive down there were signs for a "reptile show and sale" at the San Jose Convention center. My husband and I were talking about you and thought you would probably enjoy that show. Heck, even I would enjoy seeing that show after being introduced to them by you.

Annette I have a cousin who lives in Carmel next door to Robert Redfords daughter . We talk by phone but, I am not interested in going back to Ca. since leaving there in 67. I spent 2 years out here in mid sixites. Life style was too fast for this ole redneck country boy. Have a good day.

Yes, I guess it must be slower where you live now. I live in the Northern part of the State and Placerville is a nice little cowboy town. Friendly people and slower pace than the cities.

Carmel was extravagant, but fun to look at and enjoy once in a while.

And JP your beauregard can run around there and eat up all the little doggies that roam around there. Carmel is a doggie friendly town, meaning doggies are everywhere you look. All pedigrees I noticed. Yep the reptile would have a ball over there.

Road trip sound's good :-D I live a little bit closer then you do to Cindi I'll pull a recon and let you know the lay out :-D

Bwah!!! Right, forgot Irwin, you are in that class of brat too, the numbers are getting bigger, I need some womenfolk soon to help me to fend off all you brats from my ducks, I have a few very good woman folk on our forum, and some you may not want to tangle with, I won't name names, smiling :evil: 8-) :lol: Have that wonderful day, love our life, love our health that will be good.

There are strange things done in the midnight sun by the men who moil for gold. The Arctic trails have their secret tales that would make your blood run cold. The Northern Lights have seen queer sights, but the queerest they ever did see, what the night on the marge of Lake Lebarge, I cremated Sam McGee. Robert Service

.....The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved.....

Yes Clint Eastwood was the mayor of Carmel sometime back in the 80's I believe. My uncle and Aunt bought property in Carmel in the 30's because it was a beautiful place. I travel down Hwy. 1 in Ca. thru Carmel at my aunts edging .It is indeed a beautiful setting along the coastline. They wanted me to know where the property was but didn't will it to me, I suppose because I showed no interest living in Califorina.

Jp fancy new diggin's for the lizard :) Look's like Cindi got some back up might be tougher then I thought Kathy with a bow on one side and Jody with a slingshot on other could get dangerous. :-D

We'll just have to persuade them to come over to "our" side. :-D

I went on a chicken hunt with bow and arrow in Baton Rouge yrs ago. It was a place that held pig hunts. One of my friends talked me into doing it, brought my recurve bow.

It was the craziest thing ever, you would pile your chickens up somewhere, anywhere and the "supposed" wild pigs would steal your chickens. The white chickens were worth 1 pt, colored ones were 3 pts, and they had guinea hens that were virtually impossible to get near to that were worth 10 points.

We came in second place. The winners got to take a pig each.

Sorry to all the vegetarians who may read about this "chicken massacre".

they are probably ok as long as they don't have to eat them. it's the PETA folks you need to watch out for!! my protection rates are reasonable :evil: .
